"Evil Man" lyrics

"Evil Man"

Wickedness and shamelessness
Are holding you on earth
Make way for the cloudiness
To give your storm wide berth
Take away your poison pride
And force you to the light
Crusty creeps will plague you
As you try to sleep at night
Try to sleep at night
Try to sleep at night

Say bye - bye to any hope
Of angels that wear white
By yourself alone you are
And ego is your plight
Ego is your plight
Ego is your plight

See you're an evil man
You sure know how to make a stand
You're an evil - evil man
You let the devil take you by the hand
You burn everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
You're an evil man

Watch the rapture wrap you up
Unfolded as you fall
You can't have it everything
And you can't have it all
Mesmerize your only child
With oceans running clean
Live with fact and hide with fiction
Cause truth is what you need
Truth is what you need
Truth is what you need

Yeah, cuz you're evil man
You sure know how to make a stand
Say you're an evil - evil man
You let the devil take you by the hand
You burn everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
You're an evil man, yeah

Coastal waters hold you
In an armful of deception
Easy tho the hidden ways
Forbidden to take action
Sorry losers find their way
Use love and thievery
Not a chance in redemptions hell
Cause your head is hot and fevery
Hot and fevery
Hot and fevery
Hot and fevery
Hot and fevery

Spinning out of reach
On earth as he's cover words
Reality is knowing death
As cold as it unfurls
Suck the singers fury
Cause you lack sincerity
Out and come up empty baby
Cause you never will be me
Never will be me
Never will be me
Never will be me

Cuz you're an evil man
You sure know how to make a stand
Say you're an evil - evil man
You let the devil take you by the
Hand you burn everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
You're an evil man
Oh, you burn everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
Cause you're an evil man
